im going to make my blog looks a myspace mess if u can’t read my blog then too fuckin bad

Here’s to those of us who never had a “before”

A before we got sick—physical or mental. Those of us who have been disabled/mentally ill since birth or childhood. Who have to grieve never having had a normal life. Who have to wonder what we missed out on, who have a lingering wonder of how things could have been different if we’d been different. If you’re a sick person without a “before”, you matter, your emotions are valid, and there are others like you out there.

People say dissociate like it means staring out ur window

[furiousgoldfish]

raise your voice at me and i’ll never be interested in anything you have to say ever again

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

ppl have this idea that DID makes you interesting and thats why ppl fake it for attention but in reality when you have the diagnosis no one gives a shit

[furiousgoldfish]

in case nobody told abusive parents, their suffering does not warrant a permission to become a source of someone else’s suffering, if you have suffered bad why the fuck would you want to spread that shit to your children

[furiousgoldfish]

none of you are nearly as bad as your parents make you out to be

[collectivelychatty]

i mean lets be real, DID is about survival. anyone who treats it like its just alters doesnt know real DID. its about surviving at its core. its about mutilating your consciousness to outlast your experiences. alters are a side effect. my EXISTENCE is a side effect of a desperate attempt at living. so yeah im a LIL INSULTED when ppl use the disorder as an excuse to rp lmao

everytime i log into this site there’s some new layout bullshit i hate it.

[ocean-submerge]

Full offense most of you people on this site hate lesbians and gays for being exclusively same sex attracted. (IE: being actually gay)

[ocean-submerge]

Full offense but if your reaction to someone’s exclusive same sex attraction is to call them a transphobe or terf then block me because I don’t have time for clowns.

Daily reminder.

[system-of-a-feather]

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t need to change clothes every 5 minutes or kidnap some random girls to have D.I.D. / OSDD and be valid

[ocean-submerge]

Mildly spicy hot take. If you’re anti integration then you’re anti recovery.

Pluralgang… if you’re going to shit on the theory of structural dissociation and turn people away from it maybe you should at least understand how it actually works before spewing these ignorant beliefs to others….. Because it’s pretty terrifying what you’re doing.

Like there’s plenty of people who experienced trauma and developed certain personality disorders and others who haven’t and some who developed PTSD and others who didn’t because type of trauma and surrounding factors come into play, and we know what type of traumas contribute to the development of DID you can’t just use that argument so ignorantly this actually hurts to read.

[discoursedingo]

I wish they would at least read the sources they are attempted to discredit. The Haunted Self addresses this within the first few chapters. 

Some traumatized children develop DID while others don’t because DID, like most other disorders, is caused by biopsychosocial factors. That means that biological, psychological and sociological factors all play a role in the outcomes of trauma. 

It seems to me that pluralgang is committed to misunderstanding and rejecting Structural Dissociation because they know that if more endogenics were exposed to the truth about Structural Dissociation they would realize they are Structurally Dissociated and need real mental health help and not whatever BS they are peddling.

Pluralgang is the antivaxx movement of the mental health world; committed to ignoring and misunderstanding science.

I’m pretty convinced a some parts of pluralgang might not be dissociative at all and just want to feel special without all the “icky stuff”. They seem to have a general lack of empathy and seemed to have made it their mission to spread misinformation about a serious condition while ignoring when trauma survivors ask them to stop and even go so far as to harass them when they do dare to spread scientific information about the condition they live with.

I simply no longer believe that pluralgang is misguided due to misunderstandings of a condition but acts in good faith, cause their actions are not in good faith. Trying to turn a post-traumatic as well as developmental disorder into an “identity” is not acting in good faith. Medical conditions and disabilities are not “identities” you can just decide to label yourself as.

Telling someone they need to fit the diagnostic criteria for a medical condition in order to have said medical condition is not gatekeeping. If you don’t have epilepsy but say you do because you identify with having it and someone with elilepsy tells you it’s not ok to claim you have epilepsy when you don’t actually have it due to not meeting the medical criteria of having epileptic seizures, then they aren’t gatekeeping you from “epilepsy identity” either. The same applies to any other medical condition. Claiming it is “gatekeeping” is ableist.

if you wanna see how fast people get ableist my speedrun tip #1 is expressing an opinion they disagree with, especially if its political, and seeing how quickly they go from “oh i support psychotic people” to “you clearly need psychiatric help because you disagree with me and can’t have opinions because you’re too stupid and delusional to have thoughts of your own”
